Can't receive mail

Hi
I am using ispconfig3 on Debian Lenny following the perfect server tutorial. When tailing /var/log/mail.log I get this when a mail is received:

Code:

Cannot have world/group permissions on the filter file - for your own good.

and mail is not delivered to the mail box. I've read elsewhere about changing permissions for files to correct this problem - the file is usually /etc/maildroprc or /etc/courier/maildroprc or on some systems, $home/.mailfilter

I found the $home/.mailfilter in the vmail folder for one of my users and the permissions were:

Code:

-rwxrwx--- 1 vmail root   98 2010-06-06 12:46 .mailfilter

This is what was set up by ispconfig3, but according to what I read the permissions should be set to 700 (instead of 770) as above. I did try manually doing this but that resulted in a different error. Any ideas?

Thanks
Steve

That was it - I was looking at /var/vmail/mailfilters/domainname/username/.mailfilter instead of the one at the top level.
